But really, I don’t mind voicing my doubt as to Xi Dingaling being anywhere near truthful about this. Why in heaven’s would they want to make an actual accurate and truthful announcement like this? IMO the truth is probably closer to their being more or less “ready” right this moment as opposed to this 2027 business. The basis of such a strategy would be to lull folks into a false sense of “aw hell, we got plenty of time ‘til we need to get ready ourselves”.

I mean, he can’t hide an invasion of Taiwan. We’ll know long in advance before he directly attacks them. There would be an absolute shite ton of boats on their southeastern shore if they were about to attack. Plus the Taiwanese have no shortage of spies planted throughout China.
